Memorial of the Berlin Wall

Topography of Terror

The section on Niederkirchnerstrasse is the only surviving fragment of the wall in this part of Berlin. It is right next to the former-Luftwaffe Headquarters which was used during the East German Period as the House of Ministries. It is also the site of one of the more incredible escapes into West Berlin.
GDR Watch Tower

Visit and possibly ascend the last of the "BT - variant" watchtowers that used to surround West Berlin. A rare survival saved thanks to a private initiative.
